So many times I watch as my family whips out the traditional pumpkin pie after our Thanksgiving feast. I’ll be honest. I’m not a fan.

I smile, i have a bite, but it really doesn’t do anything for me. Nothing. This year I volunteered to provide the pumpkin dessert for our family meal, which obviously would not include the traditional pumpkin pie. I just had to shake things up. Continue Reading »

My dad is not much of a birthday celebrating kinda guy. He’s low key, would rather just stay home and have the family come over, but this year he had no choice. His sister, my aunt, decided to host his birthday celebration and have her house warming party at the same time. You know, kill two birds with one stone. So an outing for dad’s birthday it was.

My aunt asked if I’d be willing to make the birthday cake and, of course, I agreed and went into recipe-search frenzy mode. My dad isn’t a “lover of all things sugar” like I am. The only sweet flavor I always remember him absolutely loving is coconut. So, German Chocolate Cake would be a perfect choice. Literally, it WAS…it was devoured, demolished, inhaled, gone…kaputt!

This recipe is, hands-down, the absolute best dessert recipe I have ever come across. It is very easy, requires few ingredients (most of which are usually already at home), and is a huge hit wherever I take it. Seriously, if I had to pick one dessert recipe from the list of recipes I’ve posted on my blog to have you venture out and try, it’s this one.

The Boyfriend watches an obscene amount of football on Sunday’s. I, however, don’t really watch football at all. Something about fantasy football…blah blah blah…he has to beat his friend…blah blah blah…whatever!

Football Sunday’s are a time for me to relax, surf the internet, and whip up some interesting creations for him to try during the game. Boyfriends are great guinea pigs :)

On the menu for today were two of his favorite food items ever put together into one dish!

Biscuits and hot dogs!

(Good thing his favorite foods aren’t something like pickles and ice-cream. Ewww, not a good combination.)
